pretty trippy looking right? well its made with so many home-found utensils. i'll put together a 10 step guide for it.
items needed:
1 trippy looking plastic cup from the dollar store
1 empty two liter bottle
some chewing gum
1 roll of electrical tape
a bowl from a metal pipe. the kind you can screw on
a drinking straw
power drill with drill bit
step 1: drill a hole near the bottom of the cup at an angle. Then drill a hole in the middle for the choke-hole.
step 2: take out the drinking straw, cut in half at an angle. Insert it in the bottom hole angle side in.
step 3: chew the gum, stick it around the straw to prevent leaks. where the straw comes out, you know.
step 4: cut the top of the two liter bottle off, with the neck intact.
step 5: cut ridges into the pop bottle top, so it can form around the cup and can be taped easier. (see poorly drawn picture)
step 6: with the ridges cut, form the bottle-top around the top of the cup. bending the ridges around the cup will form it to the shape. Then tape. Its best to have someone holding the cup and the ridges around the cup and have you tape it.
step 7: now, use the scissors to cut ridges into the top of the STRAW (not the bottle) this will allow the screwing part of the bowl piece to stay on the straw
step 8: form the ridges around the stem of the bowl piece (the part with the screw ridges) and tape!
step 9: for some added support, use the electrical tape to tape around the straw.
Thats pretty much it! Wait for the gum to dry.
use a screen of your choice for the bowl, or use foil.
SUGGESTION: do NOT use cinnamon gum. it sure stinks strong. mint gum is the best.
